Neat project! I managed to complete it on the rocky soil. I'm guessing the soil selection is like a difficulty setting of sorts? The arcade gameplay loop was pretty fun, but I'm not sure about the Mastermind bit. It was a bit frustrating that you need to watch the long lose animation with the ants instead of just being able to guess again immediately.

Thank you! I am glad you had fun. The soil selection is indeed a difficulty setting. Rocks cause the flowers to "wilt" faster, the dry soil loses water at twice the rate.
Congratulations! I only beat it on good soil to ensure it worked, lol. Others have complained about being failed on the Mastermind bit too, one even suggesting it be changed to a debuff instead of a failure.
